Rye Tai
The Rye Tai is a delightful twist on the classic Mai Tai cocktail, blending the robust flavors of rye whiskey with the zesty brightness of fresh lime juice and the nutty sweetness of orgeat syrup. This cocktail is not only refreshing but also offers a unique flavor profile that sets it apart. Perfect for summer gatherings or a cozy evening at home, the Rye Tai is garnished with a vibrant mint sprig and a lime wheel, making it as beautiful as it is delicious. Historically, the Mai Tai has origins tracing back to the 1940s, but this rye-infused version adds a contemporary and sophisticated twist to the classic recipe.
